Protests Due Tuesday, June 1!!

Posted on May 28, 2010 by Linda Curtis • 1 Comment

Reminder!

If you feel your home has been over-valued by your county Appraisal District, make sure you get your protest forms in the mail, preferably today or tomorrow by certified mail return receipt requested. If not, walk it in on Tuesday, and get a stamped copy. If not, mail it registered on Tuesday. If not, just mail it on Tuesday and take your chances!

You can include with that the “Request for Information” form here for Travis County (for Bastrop scroll to the bottom of this message), which will help you in preparation for your informal and formal hearings.

Then, please consider reviewing our slides shows on the left hand menu of our front page at ChangeAustin.org.

We now have two mock hearings scheduled below: (Note: if you want to do your own, we will help you!)

Last year, we told you about the big developers who are getting huge property tax under-valuations for buildings like the Austonian. Did ya hear about the one where Austin millionaires are getting huge property tax exemptions on their “historic” homes by the City of Austin?!

This workshop is for the many middle and low-income Austinites who will receive OVER valuations from the Travis County Appraisal District this year. Reserve your seat now! And send us some dough to advertise it!
